This week's questions

Earlier this week I posted 3 questions we discussed last week. Today I'll post the ones we wrestled with a few days ago.

Didn't evolution put God out of a job? Why believe in religion in an age of Science?

Why is abortion such a big deal? Why can't I make decisions about my own body?

How can I buy into Christianity when there are so many hypocrites? Why are Christians so judgmental when they aren't any better than me?


Parents and Friends, over half of our students claim to have been asked at least ONE of these questions by a friend OR have asked these questions themselves! Take five minutes and ask your student what they learned. Besides our biblical responsibility to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks" (1 Peter 3:15) these questions and their answers address foundational truths. If we do not equip our students with the ability to wrestle with these issues and answer these questions we are not doing our job! Too many students move on from their high school years without KNOWING WHY they believe! 

My prayer is that we would each take an opportunity to connect with at least one student concerning these issues.

Anyways, Happy Friday!
